the machinest looked the dist. over at rebuild time & said it was in good shape . i took new plug wires off & put old ones on - it then ran worse . my son put oxygen ( from torch ) around intake - no change - i took carb apart changed float just a little - no change . it has power on acceleration - just cannot get it to idle down smoothly . a slight surging & rough running . i'm old enough to know what it should sound like . ( it sounds like a motor with a hot cam in it ).thanks 4onthefloor
